Re: [Elecraft] K3 phone plug
Hi John, Are you sure your external speaker is plugged in to the speaker jack and not the rear headphone jack? 73, Mike K2MK John McBee-2 wrote Problem still exist, however I have discovered that if I turn on spkr+ph to on, I have audio fine without headphones plugged in, but if I change it to spkr+ph to NO then the audio in speaker shuts off with no headphones plugged in. I have sprayed my phone connector plug with Eledtronic cleaner and put in phone jack and turned it and still no audio out speaker with phone plug out. When I turned on my K3 this evening before doing the test, I could not get any audio out speaker at all. Before it was hit and miss. So question again, cud it be phone plug on the K3 or firmware issue? Firmware agn is MCU 4.86.

I'm using the front headphone jack for the headphones only.

Re: [Elecraft] K3 phone plug
I ran into this years ago it turned out to be the Plug and not the jack. a simple fix is to wrap a piece of fine sandpaper (600+ grit) and wrap it around the plug and twist. Some plugs seem to have a slight film on them ant this removes it From: W2BLC w2...@nycap.rr.com To: elecraft@mailman.qth.net Sent: Tuesday, December 23, 2014 8:29 AM Subject: Re: [Elecraft] K3 phone plug I had that problem early on and figured it was a film of some kind on the innards of the jack - had to wiggle the plug to get it to work. So I used some of that high dollar contact cleaner on the plug and then while it was still dripping wet, plugged it in and twisted it around for a few seconds. That fixed the problem.
